Day 2

Lesson 1 INTRODUCTION TO SEARCH ENGINES

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
After going through the process of discovery with the learning tasks,
you are expected to:
1. identify common search engines; and
2. distinguish a search engine from a web browser.

Do you know that there is an easy way to access information in just one click?
Technology has been an integral part of the educational system that is constantly evolving.
Your ability to access the internet to search for specific information you need is part of that
evolution. Now, accessing information is no longer as laborious as
before. Through the internet, we can have the information we need at
our fingertips.

In this module, let us discover the perks of technology as

part of our evolving educational system.

The internet is not a substitute for the library, but a search tool to be used in addition to
the traditional sources in the library. The library is still the primary source of the most reliable
scholarly information.
The internet has introduced significant changes with the way people search for
information. Nowadays, accessing information through the internet has never been fast and

2
convenient. The internet is a huge source of information and resources; so, to access the
resources from the internet, you need to be familiar with these terms: the Search Engine and
the Web Browsers.
• Search Engine

A search engine is a kind of website through which users can

search the content available on the Internet. For this purpose, users
enter the desired keywords into the search field. Then the search engine
looks through its index for relevant web pages and displays them in the
form of a list.
The search results are generally presented in a line of results
often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The
information may be a mix of links to web pages, images, videos,
infographics, articles, research papers and other types of files.

Most Popular Search Engines

in the World
1. Google 6. Baidu
2. Bing 7. Wolframalpha
3. Yahoo 8. DuckDuckGo
4. Ask.com 9. Internet Archive
5. AOL.com 10. ChaCha.com

• Web Browsers
In using a search engine, it is also useful to know what a web browser is.

A web browser is software that is used to access the internet. Also known as a “browser,”
is an application software that allows users to find, access, display, and view websites.
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari are all
popular web browsers.

A web browser is not the same as a search engine, despite the fact that the two are
often confused. A search engine is simply a website that provides links to other websites to a

3
user. A user must, however, have a web browser installed in order to connect to a website’s
server and view its web pages.
Below is a search engine start page. Study and familiarize each part.

 The role of internet search engines has become more and more important due to the
specialization of things in our daily life and the almost daily need to use the internet as an
important source of information. Whether we are looking for an important person, an information
on a particular topic, an answer to a question, a schedule, a fast food chain, an online
supermarket, a government office or a coffee shop, everything starts with a search nowadays.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, people also seek answers instantly. Acquiring

to know further some features of the search results page. The page can look different
depending on the search term entered. Knowing the elements or features of the search results
page will make our search effective.
Here is an example of a search result on a particular topic. Study it and answer the
questions that follow.

reliable. One has to be reminded that reliability, credibility, and truthfulness are still the basic
requirements for an information resource to be acceptable and good.
